Tugboat
Alejandro Escovedo

She wasn't young, she wasn't old

She was simply the most beautiful woman he had ever seen

The captain's hands

They never held another woman again


He was always seen carrying a bag

A bag of bones, a dusty beer

And the faded outline of a tattooed tear

And the faded outline of a tattooed tear


Sometimes the moonlight spills

Across the ocean

And it reminds him

Of his lover's hair


But then sometimes the ocean surrounds him

Wraps her arms around him and tries to drag him down

Amongst the treasures that still remain there

When the night is full


You can hear him sing

This song


Gone, gone those days are gone

They're bound to time and they keep draggin' on

I gave you my best and now that's gone

And what I got left you couldn't lean on


Gone, gone those days are gone

Gone, gone, gone

And so on
